Cams.com

Ah, yah, so lemme tell ya somethin’ about Cams.com, alright? Name’s Jacob, I’m 31, grew up down in South Boston – that’s Southie to you outta-towners – and I been usin’ this site on and off since the pandemic when the bars on Broadway were all shut down and a guy was goin’ freakin’ stir-crazy in his apartment on Dorchester Ave.

Look, I’m gonna be wicked honest with ya here, ’cause that’s how we do in Boston. I was skeptical at first, yah know? My buddy Kevin from the firehouse – he’s the one who told me about it. Said he was spendin’ too much money at the Golden Banana and figured this was safer durin’ COVID. So I signed up one night after a few Sam Adams Octoberfests, thinkin’ what the hell, I’ll check it out.

First thing I noticed? The girls on here are actually real, which is more than I can say for some of these otha sites. I tried Chaturbate before this and half the time you’re watchin’ some robot from who-knows-where. But Cams.com? These girls are live, they’re talkin’ to ya, and some of ’em are wicked gorgeous. I’m talkin’ legit 10s from all ovah the place – Cali, Texas, even a couple from Worcester which I thought was hilarious.

Now, the money situation – yeah, it ain’t cheap. Tokens cost ya, and if you wanna go private with a girl, you’re droppin’ serious coin. I learned that the hard way my first month. Spent like two hundrid bucks before I even knew what happened. My ex-girlfriend Meghan woulda killed me if she knew – she’s the one who took the dog when we split, the heartbreaka.

But here’s the thing – I met this one girl, calls herself “BostonBella” on there. She’s actually from Revere, can ya believe it? We got to talkin’ one night, found out we both used to go to the same beach as kids, knew some of the same people from the North Shore. It was wicked weird but kinda cool, yah know? Like small world stuff. We did a couple private shows, she remembered my name, asked about my day, actually seemed like she gave a crap. That’s more than I can say for my last three Tinder dates, I’ll tell ya that much.

The site itself runs pretty smooth. Video quality is good, don’t buffer too much even on my crappy Comcast connection. They got this feature where you can cam-to-cam, which is… yah, that’s somethin’ else. Took me a while to get the courage to turn my camera on, but when I did, she didn’t laugh at me, so that’s a win in my book.

Downsides? Yah, there’s a few. Sometimes the girls are pushy about tips, which is annoyin’. And if you’re not careful, you’ll spend your whole paycheck without realizin’ it. I had to set myself a limit – hundrid bucks a month max, no exceptions. Otherwise I’d be livin’ on ramen and T rides.

Customer service is basically non-existent, which sucks. Had a billing issue one time where they double-charged me, and it took forevah to get it sorted. I was on the phone with my bank, ready to dispute the whole thing, when finally they refunded me.

Would I recommend it? Yah, I would, actually. If you’re a single guy like me, workin’ construction or whatever, don’t got time for the bar scene or the dating apps where everyone’s lookin’ for a husband? This is a good alternative. Just be smart about your money, don’t fall in love with any of these girls – they’re workin’, it’s a job for them – and you’ll be alright.

Four stars. Losin’ one star for the customer service and the aggressive upsellin’, but the quality of the girls and the site itself? Wicked pissah, as we say.

Stay safe out there, and if you see BostonBella, tell her Jacob from Southie says hey.

– Jacob, 31, South Boston
